Tread.
Nearing the inner city, a long team of more than a thousand people slowly stopped their horses. In front of the cavalry, the leader was a man with a broken arm. His face was solemn and he looked forward silently.
Not far ahead, there is a town, which is still a little remote from the wealthy inner city. At the entrance of the town, there were only a few people walking in groups.
"General Chen, why did these people choose a place like this? Didn't you say that An Shiliang is in a big city?"
"Mo Li." Chen Sheng said calmly. Before leaving, he knew what Military Advisor Jia meant, so he didn't panic at all.
"As expected by the military advisor, the murder and arson must be carried out in such a remote place."
After a pause, Chen Sheng exhaled and led the people forward into the town.
If it were him, he would definitely not enter the town at this time. But the military advisor said that things like robbing goods and killing people would not be carried out in the town.
"Enter town!"
…
"I guess that even if he kills people for money, he will choose to be outside the town, in the woods or deserted villages that are suitable for ambush and murder." Jia Zhou frowned and spoke in a deep tone.
"That's why I asked Chen Sheng to pick a knight to dress as a civilian husband and follow him all the way."
Xu Mu listened carefully, then thought for a moment and said, "Wenlong, there are only more than a thousand people. If King Liang Zang had a lot of ambushing troops, he might not be able to stop him. I guess Wenlong must have relied on Yuan Song. side."
Jia Zhou laughed and said, "I can't hide it from my lord. Yuan Song has a royal surname, and the King of Liang will definitely not choose him to cooperate and support an old dynasty. Therefore, the two forces should not have much to do with each other." . Moreover, Yuan Song’s current appearance is to please the lord and ask Xi Shu to send troops to fight Zuo Shiren together.”
"Yuan Song will help. As long as Chen Sheng takes his people to Yuan Song's outpost camp, then none of the Grain King's men will dare to move."
As Jia Zhou said, Yuan Song has a strong sense of crisis. In order to survive, Yan Tang was sent over again and again as a lobbyist, at all costs.
"I have told Chen Sheng to take a small road immediately after leaving the town. If you continue to take the official road, you will follow the wishes of the ambush army."
"Wen Long is as wise as a demon."
…
When he walked into the town and walked to Anshi Liang Store, Chen Sheng didn't feel any nervous.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I gave you a small change, it's a total of 120,000 taels."
"Pack the food first." Chen Sheng shook his head.
The shopkeeper of the grain store thought for a moment, nodded and walked back.
Chen Sheng smiled calmly.
After loading the grain truck and checking it for a while, Chen Sheng looked around, quickly walked to the horse, and held an iron knife with one arm.
"Do it!"
Not long after, a clear chant resounded near the grain store.
Chen Sheng roared angrily, lifted up his robe, and with one arm naked, holding a knife, slashed the grain store manager to death in front of him as he ran away.
The more than a thousand people accompanying him, most of whom were knights, also used their swords to repel the incoming enemies.
Dancing with a single sword, Chen Sheng looked determined. Such bloody days suddenly disappeared after returning from Jubeidi. Most of the time, he stayed in Shuzhou and worked as a logistics general. Of course, all Shu generals, big and small, who are in charge of logistics matters will worship him. His little boss has always been very kind to him.
But for some reason, deep down in his heart, he still likes the kind of battlefield where he rushes to kill with a knife.
Click.
He chopped down a Liangxing guard who was holding a knife and knocked him to the ground. Raising his elbow, Chen Sheng wiped his face several times.
"Get out of the city, take the grain truck out of the city!"
The officials who arrived, and even the more than a hundred grain line guards, all looked sad for a while, and no one dared to move.
"Whoever stands in my way, I will kill!" Chen Sheng raised his knife and struck it repeatedly on the horse's back, making a clanging sound.
"Step aside!"
More than a thousand knights and soldiers of Shu roared angrily. According to Chen Sheng's wishes, he quickly got on the grain truck, coming and going in a hurry like a group of bandits robbing the city.
"Didn't you mean to wait for the Shu people to buy grain and then intercept and kill them on their way back? This...they started to attack first!" In the grain store, there were voices from time to time, which sounded a bit incredible.
A majestic logistics general from Xishu actually killed people and robbed food in a town in the inner city. Who would have thought of this! What's even more frightening is that it actually took a long time to help load the grain truck.
"Quickly, go tell Hall Master Chen Anshi."
Outside the town, Chen Sheng, who was riding a horse, kept laughing. He hasn't felt this comfortable for a long time.
"General Chen, you just used your hands to kill so majesticly." Beside Chen Sheng, an elegant middle-aged man with a sword behind his back spoke in admiration.
His name is Yuan Xiu, the Xiang Master of Jiangbei Branch, and he once entered Shu with Shangguan Shu. He has always been a little dissatisfied with the chief helmsman who does not know martial arts. But as Xi Shu conquered the six states, he now already had a lot of admiration for the chief helmsman.
"When I was in Wangzhou City, I followed my master to fight Di Gou. Even if one of my hands was broken, I could still kill seven in and seven out with a knife in one arm." Chen Sheng laughed comfortably.
"General Chen, what should we do now?"
"According to the military advisor, we will avoid the official road and go around the small road to Laizhou. The military advisor said that the ambush place will definitely be on the official road. It's ridiculous that those people thought that we would collect grain and return to Shu. , taking the official path is the safest."
"When we get closer to Laizhou, Yuan Song will definitely have a frontline outpost to guard against the inner city. Master Yuanxiang immediately sent people into the inner city and told Chen Sheng of Western Shu that he had discovered Laizhou when he was buying grain and returning to Shu. There is a group of bandits secretly moving nearby and approaching Laizhou."
"General Chen, why do you say he is a bandit?"
"That's what the military advisor meant. It's not good to say it too directly. The people on Yuan Song's side will understand when they hear it."
Everyone in the world knows that if the king of Yuzhou goes south, the first separatist force to bear the brunt will be Yuan Song, the king of Donglai.
…
To the north of Laizhou, the person guarding Guancheng was General Shentu Guan of Donglai. At this time, the Confucian general was still on the closed balcony, stroking his pale beard and reading a military book.
It wasn't until he heard about the enemy that he frowned and stood up.
"It's General Chen Sheng of Western Shu. He sent people to come quickly and said that he saw thousands of bandits approaching Laizhou."
"Chen Sheng? Who is he?"
"Information says that he should be a trusted general of the King of Western Shu."
After a moment of silence, Shen Tu Guan spoke immediately.
"Although this thing is a bit strange, in any case, according to my lord's strategy, Xishu is not suitable for the enemy for the time being. You can order two battalions of troops to respond. If those so-called bandits dare to approach me, Donglai Outpost, shoot without mercy."
"The inner city is now in chaos, and the King of Yuzhou is still fighting in Dingzhou. Such things cannot be caused by those aristocratic families, so why not fight!"
"Take orders!"
Only when General Pi was far away did Shen Tu Guan stand on the balcony of the city gate with his hands clasped behind his back, looking into the distance for a long time.
If Donglai wants to go further, it can only use the strategy of "one alliance, one enemy", and Xishu is the most suitable ally. Zuo Shiren of the Three Prefectures of Dongling is also the most suitable enemy.
“Great things can be expected.”
After a while, Shen Tu Guan's voice drifted in the wind.
